Victory
The Nigger of the Narcissus

The Sound of Waves and The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea. They aren't so much about actual sailing and the sea, more dealing with some of the weirder romanticism that surrounds them

This one, "The Changes in German Tactical Doctrine During the First World War"
is not a book as it is an essay but it is really interesting and it is readily available online ( http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/lupfer.pdf ) !

Cool. I just read a book on Napoleonic tactics.
You should make a gdoc list of military theory books.
One of the leading experts on George Berkeley wrote a book called Fishing and Thinking.
>This angling classic belongs in the tackle box or bookshelf of every thinking fly fisherman. An avid angler in the streams, rivers, tarns, and lakes of Ireland, A. A. Luce believed fly fishing offered unique opportunities for reflection. This engrossing study of the most intellectual of outdoor pursuits is his gift to like-minded souls everywhere.
